Philippine Airlines (PAL) is the national flag carrier of the Philippines and Asia's first airline. As PAL continues to strengthen its brand story of delivering heartfelt customer service, it launches a new Brand Equity campaign poised to win over foreign leisure travellers from international markets with the theme: "Experience the Heart of the Filipino". 

With a rich 76-year history, PAL boasts of many 'firsts' -- including being the first airline in Southeast Asia to cross the Pacific on July 31, 1946, the first to operate to Europe via a DC-4 service to Rome and Madrid, and the first to introduce the world's first fully-flat sky beds aboard the B747 jumbo jets, among many others.

The airline will continue reconfiguring its Airbus A330s into tri-class layout.

PAL carried a total of 13.4 million passengers last year, a 12.6 percent uptick from 11.9 million passengers served in 2015.
